Chapter 47: Creation as Interpreted by a Biologist (2)
Neng Yuanhao is thinking about how to find time to make up for myths and stories in the future.
Shi Dingfang has already spoken.
"Dear Old Man Anzu, please forgive me for taking the liberty of it. First of all, I have to say that I can't guarantee that I understand. However, I would like to be able to decipher my own understanding of this creation. This is Shi Dingfang's opening remarks.
"Good, very good, I just want to know how you understand it." The old man nodded and smiled.
As soon as Shi Dingfang heard this, he immediately stepped forward and immediately gave Old Man Anzu a great gift to see His Holiness, and then slowly opened his mouth.
"Dear Old Man Anzu, I am not proficient in any literary works. Therefore, I am afraid that I will not be able to decipher the literary value of Plasma's creation story. However, from the perspective of biochemistry, I can try to interpret creation as I understand it in the language of biochemistry. ”
"Oh?" Old man Anzu nodded slightly,
"Perhaps, I still have some experience to share with you." Shi Dingfang added without humility or arrogance.
"Very good, very good, I'm very interested in your understanding of biochemistry." Old man Anzu smiled expectantly.
Shi Dingfang saw the old man smile, and did not immediately start to interpret it, but made a foreshadowing first. Heh, his foreshadowing is like a "excuse me" pre-explanation for any offense.
"Dear Old Man Anzu, my interpretation is based only on the paleobiochemistry of the earth and the pronunciation of ancient words that I know, and there is no intention to deliberately offend the people of Plasma. If there is anything in my interpretation that makes you feel inappropriate or unpleasant, please forgive me and give me a reminder, okay? ”
"Good, good, I appreciate your straightforwardness. So, let's interpret creation as we understand it from a biochemical perspective. The old man immediately smiled, and while he thought, he secretly admired in his heart: Heh, earthlings are really eye-catching and cautious. For this alone, I don't know how many times more powerful than the Plasma, well, it must be praised!
And what about Shi Dingfang?
After he had done the foreshadowing in advance, he felt that he was ready, so he finally said to the old man Anzu with a smile.
"Dear Old Man Anzu, then I'll start."
"Very good, you start, we'll see!" The old man immediately smiled and raised his hand.
"Dear Old Man Anzu, the creation you just told seems to be telling a mythological story, but it is not." Shi Dingfang didn't open his mouth, and as soon as he opened his mouth, he opened the door to the question.
"Oh? How is this not the case? The old man asked with an interested smile.
"I, based on the biochemical knowledge known on Earth, seem to have interpreted the process of the birth and reproduction of Plasma's life."
"Very well, you read on." The old man looked at Shi Dingfang excitedly.
"First of all, I have to admit that when you first mentioned the name Prasma, I did ignore the importance of the name. But luckily, I didn't ignore Perre, which you mentioned next. It was this Pere that gave me a sudden flash of inspiration and allowed me to find the golden key to decipher this creation. Shi Dingfang began to interpret.
"Perret?" Neng Yuanhao was stunned.
"Yes, Old Man Anzu tells us that the greatest primordial god in Prasma's creation is Peret."
"Pere, what's wrong with Perret?" Neng Yuanhao asked puzzled.
"Captain, do you remember the volcanic surface ecology training we attended together in Hawaii?" Shi Dingfang asked with a smile.
"Of course I remember, what's wrong?"
"So Captain, do you remember that old legend in Hawaii? Everything in Hawaii begins with the story of Pere, the goddess of volcanoes. Shi Dingfang asked with a smile.
"Hawaii's volcanic goddess, Perre?" Neng Yuanhao was still puzzled.
"Captain, as soon as I heard Old Man Anzu mention the name of Perret, I suddenly thought of the transliteration of the name of the volcano goddess Pere, Pele. Pele, on the other hand, is the root of the earth's paleontological term 'protoplasm'. The term 'protoplasm' was later used by physicists on Earth to describe the form of matter in a gas discharge tube. ”
Shi Dingfang explained simply and clearly.
"What?" Neng Yuanhao was stunned for a moment, and then immediately quickly interpreted this sentence in an instant, and then he was stunned by Shi Dingfang's understanding angle.
"Dingfang, you... You're talking about plasma? ”
Isn't?
Shi Dingfang's explanation just now is very simple and very clear.
The name Perret, the goddess of volcanoes, is traced back to nothing but plasma, except for the material form that gas takes on when it is discharged.
Neng Yuanhao was stunned.
Everyone else was the same, and they were all stunned by the "plasma" analyzed by Shi Dingfang.
Seeing this, Shi Dingfang laughed: "Yes, captain, what I want to say is plasma." ”
"Oh my God, you can think of this layer?" Everyone exclaimed, "Plasma, its ancient transliteration is plasma, and the transliteration of plasma is prasma."
"That's right." Shi Dingfang nodded.
"Oh my God, you've locked the name 'Prasma' from the beginning, right?" Neng Yuanhao had already understood Shi Dingfang's interpretation logic, and he was simply stunned.
"That's right." Shi Dingfang nodded again, and then explained with a smile, "The name Pere can only correspond to Pele. Pele is the etymology of plasma. And what about plasma? It is the fourth state of matter in the universe, that is, the plasma state, the supergaseous state, the plasma state, and so on. Shi Dingfang smiled and analyzed.
"Very good, very good, you actually found the plasma state at the very beginning of this story." Old Man Anzu immediately smiled and nodded.
"Dear Old Man Anzu, do you mean to say: I was right from the beginning, right?" Shi Dingfang immediately asked.
"Hmm!" Old man Anzu nodded nondeniably.
"So, can I continue?" Shi Dingfang then looked at the old man respectfully, and asked for a show with his eyes.
"Very well, then you can continue." Old man Anzu smiled first, and then waved his hand.
Shi Dingfang got a reassurance, so he continued to read it very confidently.
"When I locked on Plasma, when I mapped Plasma to the plasma, I began to make a bold guess: the star Plasma is most likely a supergaseous star formed by the interweaving of hot plasma and magnetic fields."
"That's right, you're right, Prasma is indeed a supergaseous star." The old man nodded dissatisfied. As soon as Shi Dingfang heard that his second step was actually right, he continued to interpret it boldly.
"When I speculated: Plasma star is most likely a supergaseous star. I thought: Perhaps, like our parent star, the Sun, is a sphere of hot plasma and magnetic fields. Then, this creation should be inseparable from the birth of life. ”
"Yes, exactly." The old man nodded again.
As a result, Shi Dingfang became more confident in his next interpretation.
"Where, like our parent star, the Sun, is a stellar body intertwined with hot plasma and magnetic fields. This means, then, that the birth of life and the form of reproduction are very likely to be very similar. ”
“.…..” Everyone was listening.
"We can even understand that it is exactly the same. After all, both are a pot of raw soup that is intertwined with hot plasma and magnetic fields, isn't it? ”
The old man Anzu smiled, laughing very relieved, he laughed and said to Shi Dingfang: "Yes, you can completely understand it this way. ”
Shi Dingfang, who received an affirmative response again, continued to explain: "So, I will continue to speculate: In the star system where hot plasma and magnetic fields are intertwined, life is generally composed of biological macromolecules, and the four core biological macromolecules of organisms are: proteins, nucleic acids, sugars, and lipids. ”
Speaking of this, Shi Dingfang paused first.
Then he said: "Attention, the point is here: the four biological macromolecules proteins, nucleic acids, sugars, and lipids are all the same as the four ancestral gods of Prasma. ”
"Huh?" Everyone was stunned.
"What?" An Qi couldn't help but exclaim, because she thought of something in the flash of light, "The four ancestral gods of Plasma are the four biological macromolecules?" ”
"Isn't it?" Shi Dingfang nodded,
